From my present point of view there are only two paths in life.
One path leads to life and compassion for all beings in the universe.
The other path leads at the very least to your death through self destructive thoughts and feelings.
For example, the path of compassion is the path of civilization itself.
However, the path of compassion is how you stay alive old age and not self destruct too.
For example, many young men say to themselves "This place is so fucked I'm going to be a soldier and die" and then they are gone in World WAr I and World War II and the Korean War and the Viet Nam war and the Afghanistan and Iraq wars too. But, choosing to die like this is a form of suicide.
That's not to say that some people join the military because they are altruistic and think they can help save mankind. This is true too. And in some ways we never know which path the people who join the military are actually on unless they tell us.
I found myself feeling Guilty that God has saved my life so I didn't have to die in the Viet Nam War and didn't have to be drafted because I had almost died of seizures so many times from a concussion Rock climbing when I was 9 and the seizures happened often from age 10 to 15.
So, I was still trying to work all this out and not hate myself in many ways between 20 and 25.
However, then my girlfriend got pregnant and we got married and I no longer had the time to hate myself anymore because I had much better things to do being married and taking care of my son and starting business and supporting my family at age 26.
However, from 20 to 25 I felt sort of like I failed my parents. However, I also realized that what they wanted for me was always impossible and a bridge too far. But, I had really good parents too. But, until I had my own family I wasn't able to extricate myself from my parents expectations for me simply because we were like the Three Musketeers "All for one and one for all" and very loyal to each other.
But, when I got married I had to move away from my parents and be loyal to my wife and my son in order for it all to work then.
In the process of all this I learned to love myself and all beings in the universe.
So, for me, because I faced potential suicide for many years from about 20 to 25 I understand this better than many of you do right now.
Compassion for myself and all beings saved my life in this lifetime.
Realizing when a clairvoyant from my mother's church brought down the angels for me to see into her living room that I could live with the angels here on earth and it would be like heaven here worked for me too.
I realized I didn't have to die to be with God. I could live with the Angels here on earth mostly because I realize now that when I asked God to come live in my body with me this meant I would be an incarnate Angel here on earth.
IF someone wants to ask God to live in their body with them it might make sense if the other alternative is death.
I chose to be an incarnate Angel of God rather than to die when I was 15 from seizures that were slowly killing me. As soon as I did this I never have had another seizure again.
So, God listened to me and came into my body at age 15 and stayed ever since.
But, until I really was able to find the path of compassion I still wasn't safe here on earth and I finally found that unselfish path by becoming a father and a husband.
There are really only two paths here on earth the Path of Compassion
And the path of suicide and death and hating everyone and yourself as well which causes your death.
Learning to have compassion for others you learn to have compassion for yourself.
Learning to have compassion for yourself you learn to have compassion for others.
It doesn't matter which way you start you just have to get there if you want to become fully Enlightened in this lifetime.
By God's Grace
